Durham Wildlife Trust
Volunteer Reserve Wardens

If you live near or regularly visit a Durham Wildlife Trust nature reserve you could help the Trust as a Volunteer Reserve Warden (VRW). VRW's are the eyes and ears of the Trust's reserves team and provide information on maintenance issues such as branches fallen across paths or motorbikes using a site. Induction and brief training is given.
